We used the AccuQuilt Go! Fabric Cutter to cut the pieces for this quilt. We were amazed at how quickly we were able to cut the entire project. Also, each piece was perfectly accurate, every time!

Brand Ambassador Intro- Stephanie Bertics

Our 9th Ambassador for 2020 is the incredibly talented Stephanie Bertics. Her quilts are stunning and we can't wait for you to see all the amazing projects she creates using Michael Miller fabrics!

Hello! I am Stephanie Bertics of Quilt’n Party. I live in the Metro Denver area where I have lived most of my life. I work full time as an Information Technology Business Analyst for a large Telecom company, my job is all about helping to improve business processes through automation; specifically, I document requirements to help the project team understand what the client is requesting to have built. It always strikes me how many technical people are also quilters. I think we like to play with the soft, cheery fabric to reduce the stress.

1. How long have you been sewing/quilting? My earliest memory of sewing is when I was about six. My grandmother taught me to do simple embroidery where the patterns are stamped on the fabric. Recently my mom found one of my first projects packed away in her basement. It is a baby-sized blanket with a deer on it. I turned it into a throw pillow so I can always see it. Mom and I were always doing something crafty over the years so creating has always been part of my life. There are no quilters in my family, but I was always fascinated by quilts, I started quilting around 1999 and I am self-taught. 

2. What other hobbies do you enjoy?  I really enjoy getting outside to take photos, and that typically involves hiking or walking. I’m lucky to live in a state with so much beauty and decent weather. I also love cooking and I enjoy hosting dinner parties for friends.

 

3. What was the biggest change in your life in 2019? 2019 was a year of change. After my dad passed away mom and I decided that it made sense for us to combine homes. It’s been a big change for both of us. The hardest part was figuring out where to store all my fabric. Before I moved in with her, I actually went through a bit of a fabric purge in order to reduce the size of my stash. After 6 months I think we have the fabric situation all figured out. 

4. What is your favorite food? I love Mexican food. I could eat it every day. I also love Hungarian food. My dad was Hungarian, and I learned to make all the wonderful Hungarian dishes from him.

5. Do you have any pets? No pets right now. But if you’re wondering, I prefer dogs. 

6. What is your favorite color? That’s so hard to answer plus it depends on the application. I love blue, like the color of the sky. But I wear a lot of black. I love to see red in a quilt, and green, I really like green.

I am so excited for the opportunity to be a Brand Ambassador for Michael Miller fabrics in 2020. I hope to come up with some great projects to showcase the fun, cheery fabrics.

We're excited to unveil the next Michael Miller Fabrics Challenge for QuiltCon 2019! This year's choices include fabrics from MMF's Mixer Collection, Hash Dot - Hash Dot in Ebony, Hash Dot in Grass, Hash Dot in Marine and Cotton Couture in Peach. Members will receive the signup link on July 13, 2018 at 7pm EDT, 4pm PDT.

Each participant will receive four fat eighths of the challenge fabric. Like previous fabric challenges, we have many more members than available fabric. We wish everyone could get one, but the bundles are first come, first serve. However, you can still participate by purchasing the challenge fabric at your local quilt shop. Everyone who signs up for the challenge should submit their final quilt to the Fabric Challenge category at QuiltCon - like other categories, this category is eligible for judging and awards up to $1,000!

To be eligible, participants must use at least two of the three selected Hash Dot fabrics and Cotton Couture Peach. However, participants may use as many Cotton Couture solids as desired. Binding and backing can be any Michael Miller fabric. Once completed, these quilts will be entered into the Michael Miller Fabrics Challenge category at QuiltCon. The top prize for this category is $1,000!

All fabric will be shipped by mid-August. Quilt entries will be open July 1 to November 30, 2018 (the same as other QuiltCon quilt show entries). Quilts can be submitted via the form at quiltconentry.com.
